Perhaps The New Democratic Party Mascot Should Be A Chicken.

Dems seem to be afraid to fight or speak out. They are always apologizing when fake rage from the GOP erupts even when they have barely criticized the party. Never challenge the GOP media or trash Fox talent.

The Democratic party has been running since Reagan. At least the Dems should fight even if they lose and they might even win. The last election was the most blatant example of being like a bunch of chickens.

The American psyche respects a fighter even if the fighter is beaten. Dems need to be ready to politically bloody the GOP.

They all end up as meals to the party they will not fight, but only compromise to the right for. My bags are packed. I will work towards finding or creating a party that will fight the current extreme ideology of the current Republican Party.

And the conservative movement has become a juggernaut due to money and power politics. Let's face it, the average
Democratic politician is just a long for the ride, barely hanging on and fighting for survival in the current environment.

Some of you know them as pill bugs. Whenever challenged or threatened, they curl themselves up into a tight little ball.
